I am afraid you are missing the point. The guy is only asking for help
for literature review not to make a thesis. I see nothing wrong with
that. You can't fault somebody for asking for help. As a matter of fact
this guy needs to be praised for having the guts to ask for it.
Are you going for your Ph.D? Let me tell you something its a lot tougher
than getting a masters thesis. I know through my own experience. Give
the guy a break.
Sorry to be so frank - but your posting is cruel and inhumane.
